Attack of the Mary-Sues

Prelude

It was a peaceful day, long long ago on the island of Victoria Island. Sure, there were monsters, but those had always been there. Besides, the ones who could not fight merely stayed under the protection of those who could.

One day though, everything changed. While Beginners flooded from the ships that crossed between Maple Island and Victoria Island as usually, one Beginner, different from the rest, stepped out. She was equipped in extremely powerful armor, was extremely skilled, could use any skill, and many of the male Beginners followed her hungrily. On her name tag read "Mary-Sue". One of the few stronger ones there, named "RykuZ" noticed her. He walked up to greet her, but as he walked closer, he shivered, and suddenly stopped, feeling a cold air coming from the disturbing female. She took a step forward, and RykuZ shuddered.

"Who are you?" he asked,

"I'm Mary-Sue of course," she replied.

"I know that, but why does evil seem to follow you?"

"I feel hurt you could say such a thing about me."

"Oh please, don't try to fool me, everything about you screams it. Not only does an evil air follow you, but you just got off the ship. Nobody getting off that ship should have, much less be able to wield, a Maple Llama Staff."

"What, so I trained, is that so bad?"

"So you spent months, maybe YEARS there, training? I highly doubt that."

"Believe what you wish, but I will not be threatened by you for any longer." With that, Mary-Sue took her leave and set out for the portal at the other end of town. RykuZ sighed and began to greet the other newcomers to Victoria Island. After an hour or so, he walked over to the taxi and handed the driver 1200 mesos and rode to his "hometown" of sorts, Perion.

Perion was home to all the Warriors across the land, those who fought with brute force rather than magic, stealth, or range. To the east lay Ellinia, the land of Mages. Southwest of there was Henyses, town of the Bowman, also the closest to the port city where newcomers came of Lilith Harbor. Northwest of Lilith Harbor but South of Perion was Kerning City, the lair of Thieves.

Meanwhile, in Ellinia, a cleric-in-training yelled in frustration as the slimes swarmed him faster than he could kill them. The boy with an odd name, 291212, fought as hard as he could, batting the slimes back. Unfortunately, several slimes escaped his magical wrath and managed to knock him around. He ran to the nearest rope and leaped up onto it, climbing out of the slimes reach. Sighing in relief, he popped the cap off of a Red potion and drank, feeling his wounds heal as he did so.

Also in Ellinia, a Cleric name KfuWushu slept, dreaming of becoming even stronger and eventually defeating the legendary monster, Zakum, without any help, a near impossible feat, one that would not come true anytime soon. How will these three heroes meet? Who else will join them, and who is this Mary-Sue character? Find out, when the battle begins!
